On my dual-sim int'l Galaxy S7 edge, if I put in my AT&T SIM card, it only displays 4G next to the signal strength indicator.
But if I take the same SIM and put it in my iPhone SE or 7, or my Verizon Galaxy S7(which comes unlocked), then it display LTE.

Did you check the phone info menu to see what network you're actually on? I bet you're actually on LTE.

I believe most people in the US will expect to see LTE, while internationally 4G is more widely used.

How come my iPhones work fine and immediately gives me data access no matter what SIM card I use? On my Android phones, I frequently have to manually add or edit "APN" settings before data will work?(such as my S7 edge, S8 or other LG G5 and V20 phones)

That reminds me of another question I've been wondering for a long time.
